ああ！先週からとっても忙しく、ブログを書く暇がありませんでした。８月
 中こんなに雨が降ったなんて信じられない。
Wow! Since last week, I've been so busy I haven't had time to do this blog. I can' believe how much it rained in August.

先週、私達（私のカルテット）は池袋のケニーズバー(http://www.kennys.jp)で中村誠一氏[photos] http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=2007... http /mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=203

 道でのコンサートに備えるため、スケジュールしたライブでした。これらの
 ライブに向けての準備はとても楽しいものでした。新しい曲も覚えなければ
 ならなかったし、ホレス・シルヴァー生涯について勉強したり、バンドリハ
 ーサルもちゃんとやりました。実際そんな準備も楽しく、このホレス・シル
 ヴァープロジェクトは今後も続けて行こうかと思っています。
Last week, we (my Quartet) did a gig a Kenny's (http://www.kennys.jp) in Ikebukuro with special guest Seiichi Nakamura [photos] http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=2007.... This was a gig that I scheduled to help us to get ready for our 8/28 concert in Omotesando as part of the Senzoku Music Showcase [photos] http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=2034.... It was a lot of fun preparing for those gigs. I had to learn a lot of new songs, spent some time reading and studying about Horace Silver's life and rehearsing the band. It was so much fun actually, I think I'm going to keep the Horace Silver Project going.

つい最近、新宿ゴールデン街の、集まってわいわいやるのにうってつけの、

Recently, I went to Shinjuku Goldengai to one of my favorite places in Tokyo to hang-out. The name of the shop is Nana [photos]http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=2034.... It has a flamenco theme. It's a very small shop with some very unusual interior.

８月３０日の土曜日は、一日の大半を表参道、原宿、青山エリアを歩いて過
 ごし、写真を撮ったり、美術館に行ったり、クリエイティブな面白い人達と
 出会ったりしました。
On Saturday 8/30, I spent most of the day walking around Omotesando, Harajuku and Aoyama taking photos, going to art galleries and meeting some really creative and interesting people.

原宿ラフォーレは日本のポップカルチャーの源だ、と聞いたので、ビルの中
 を歩き回り、お店を覗き、人々がどんな服を身に付けまた買っているかを観
 察してみました。
I've heard that Laforet is really a center for creative pop culture in Japan. So, I spent some time walking around the building, looking in shops and noticing what people were wearing and buying.

ラフォーレの後は、通りを下って、GYRE(http://gyre-omotesando.com/)という建物に入り... White Roomに行き、細江英公(http://www.eikoh-hosoe.jp/index.html...

Gig was fun as hell last night. Played at Mahounoryu in Oizumigakuen (about 20 minutes from Ikebukuro station). The club is cool...good sound..vibe is cool...management cool with the musicians. I played there 4-5 times last year, usually to full rooms. Last night 0 customers. Thats right..0. Well, certainly can't make a living like that but, I'm a survivor (cancer) so I dont worry. But, I feel bad for the cats in the band. Last year, the club's vibe was really relaxed. People enjoyed going there listening to music, having a drink and maybe ordering a small dish. Suddenly, they have changed the concept. When the management came to us and cut-off of the sound check at 6pm, I knew something had changed. We were escorted downstairs to a room for a 2 hour wait for the gig. Seems as though their new dinner menu, higher prices and uptight vibe has scared the music crowd away. Last time I played there it was also a small audience. Around 10:30 when we were supposed to finish, the room started to fill-up. Being foolish, I thought we should play a little longer so those folks would get their moneys worth (cover charge). Come to find out later, there is no charge after 10:30. Oh well, I was trying to do a good thing. Funny how no one will complain if you play over-time but, dont EVEN think about starting 5 minutes late. Anyway, I couldnt have been happier with the creativity and the music that was made last night and THAT is my mine commitment.
